“We want Greenwich council to support the expansion of CS4 so it can be extended to Woolwich Road.

“They need to turn the Angerstein roundabout into a normal traffic light junction, with protected space for cyclists on every single corner.

“We’re also asking the Mayor to require all HGV trucks to have blind side CCTV, so drivers can always see cyclists, not crush and kill them.

“It would only cost £1000 per truck, that’s a drop in the ocean of the Mayor’s budget, and it needs to be done as soon as possible.”

Council leader Dan Thorpe, said: “It was a very sombre experience to be here with everyone paying their respects to two people who’ve lost their lives but also coming together to see what can be done to prevent the loss of further life and improve the safety of the roundabout as quickly as possible.

“I’ve already reached out to the Mayor’s office and the cycling commissioner to invite them down to take a look at the roundabout to see what immediate improvements we can all make to improve safety for everyone.

“But in the long term we need to bring forward the delivery of CS4 into Woolwich as soon as possible, which will bring about further safety improvements to the road.”

A Mayor of London spokesman said: “Reducing road danger is a top priority for the Mayor and TfL, which is why we’re investing record amounts in building new infrastructure to make cycling and walking safer across London. Under the Mayor’s plans, the most dangerous HGVs with poor driver vision will be removed from London’s streets entirely, going much further than plans to install CCTV proposed by the previous Mayor.

“TfL’s ground-breaking Direct Vision Standard will be the first of its kind in the world, directly addressing the issue of lethal driver blindspots in lorries when it comes into effect next year. “We have ambitions to make the route between Greenwich and Woolwich Road safer for cyclists, and we will continue to work with the council – who are responsible for the road – to make this a reality.”
